This Mormon agricultural village was named for Edward Glen Wood (died 1933), the
son of prominent local Mormon Edward James Wood. The original intention was to
name the settlement Edwood, but the elder Wood declined in favour of his son.
Glenwood was known as Glenwoodvile until 1979. The Woods are buried in the
Cardston Cemetery.
